Lord God almighty, who knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts, open our eyes to see when we make plans in our hearts to please ourselves at the expense of others, that we could recognize the sin we carry before it becomes action and turn to you for cleansing and help, through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.’” – Matthew 21:38
